Don't Drink and Blog and PIneapple Express Review

I read my last post and it was scary. I didn't even remember writing it and my first impression was that someone hacked into my account and posted a parody of my bitching. Then I realized it wasn't a parody but myself acting like a whiny little bitch.

I saw Pineapple Express last night. The movie started out great but fizzled out in the second half. it had a great concept, casting, but it lacked character development. David Gordon Green, director, focused way too much on the "friends forever" emotional storyline without providing enough character development. The script was random and frenetic, but I think it could have been executed much better. Bottom line, this movie was a huge let down. Although it had a lot of funny parts and bits, it felt like a bunch of random sketches sewed together with a mediocre plot.

If you liked "Half Baked", which is still my favorite "stoner" movie and makes me tear up every time at the end, then you won't like Pineapple Express.

I don't understand the precursor of Half Baked or how these two movies are related-- inversely or otherwise. I liked both of them..

I agree that there was not much character development-- but the characters in and of themselves were pretty damn funny.

Definitely worth watching.. better than 75% of the crap that is being released right now.
